<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>My apologies for my earlier post
about for asking the ways to save ‘nagios.cmd’ file even after
stopping nagios. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>As the documentations clearly
mentions the command file has to be deleted before nagios start or it will bail
out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Interestingly I dint observe
this behaviour. In my ‘init.d/nagios’ script the path for ‘nagios.cmd’
was wrong so it was not getting deleted when nagios was stopped. When I
started nagios it dint complained about the existing ‘nagios.cmd’
file and started normally. Can this happen?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have nagios-1.2 running for years monitoring 3000+ hosts
and 10,000+ services. Recently we decided to port it to nagios-3.2.0 on to
Centos5.4 and found this issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have two custom developed scripts, one script (daemon)
receives the snmp-traps and writes it to the nagios.cmd pipe. Another script is
a cron job which removes/adds the hosts to hosrgroups then ‘stops nagios
for 5 seconds’ and ‘starts nagios’ again. We faced few
problems in the older version with ‘service nagios reload’ so we have
to come up with this turnaround solution which we wish to continue in the newer
version of nagios also.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When nagios is stopped ‘nagios.cmd’ is not
deleted as we keep on receiving snmp-traps and we want to process them as soon
as nagios is up and running and not to lose them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Though not all times few times nagios crashed reporting
‘SIGSEGV’. Couldn’t figure out the exact reason as the log
file and the debug messages were reporting to be normal. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Would be very happy if someone sheds more light on this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
